The year, day by day
The year in Quitman runs from a mild 36°F around January 18 to 91°F at the peak near July 11, and the normal low never reaches freezing on any date in the record.
When the heat sits
Normal highs reach 90°F from June 17 through September 5, covering 81 dates. The broader mild season, normal highs of 70°F or more, runs March 12 to November 3.
This counts calendar dates whose 1991–2020 normal high reaches 90°F. It is a smaller number than the 90°F+ day counts in the monthly table above, which measure how often the threshold was actually crossed in a typical year. A date can average 88°F and still exceed 90°F in half of all years.
No freezing date
Not one calendar date in the 1991–2020 record carries a normal low at or below 32°F. The coldest normal low of the year is 36°F around January 18.
The widest day
March 30 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 27°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Data-derived climate profile
How Quitman's climate pattern fits together
mixed demand · mid swing
July and January mark the typical warm and cold ends of the calendar in Quitman's middle-range seasonal profile. The measured spread is 33.2°F. The annual average is 64°F. Neither the annual mean nor one extreme month represents the full calendar on its own.
Heating and cooling both register in Quitman's normal, at 2,295 and 2,082 degree days respectively. Neither total exceeds the other by more than two to one, so the record is better read as a mixed-demand calendar than as heating-led or cooling-led.
A roughly 237-day frost-free season sits inside this mixed heating-and-cooling profile. Start and end dates matter because both sides of the thermostat register during a normal year.
A moisture-range label is withheld because Quitman's annual precipitation total is unavailable. Monthly source values remain visible where NOAA provides them, and no annual amount is reconstructed from incomplete data.
These labels group NOAA 1991-2020 normals from Quitman's primary station, where heating and cooling demand are close enough that neither season sets the character on its own. On a balanced station like Quitman, the bands are descriptive ranges rather than an official NOAA classification or a forecast.

Data Sources
Data source: NOAA U.S. Climate Normals v1.0.1 (1991-2020). All figures on this page are from Quitman's primary station: QUITMAN 2 NNE (USC00227252). For informational purposes only.
Place identity: U.S. Census Bureau 2024 Gazetteer places. The 2024 Census Gazetteer identifies the exact name-and-state match as an incorporated place (GEOID 2860720). Match rule for Quitman: exact normalized name + state only, no fuzzy expansion, so nearby differently spelled facilities stay unmatched.
On this page every temperature, precipitation, and derived score for Quitman comes from its primary NOAA station record.
